My son came over to visit about 9:00 pm and like a dummy I had two cups of coffee.So at this ridiculous hour I'm all bright eyed and bushy tailed. Went on TinBu to check gas prices over the river. They are up significantly from yesterday[avg. $4.13/gal] because I need gas. I felt a bit better when I noticed that gas is $5.86/gal. in Orlando,fl. That is the highest price in the U.S. and even higher than SSM Ont gas prices.

Morning RLE,
Same here....can't sleep...I've been preoccupied with the possibility that the producers of "Glee" will likely ax the character of "Karofsky".
Things like that do bother me.
Anyhow,
the high gas prices are easily explained.
I finally came around and I have seen the light. The persistent, chronic frothing and my wild eyes were interfering negatively with my life, work and interactions with loved ones and pets .
Under advice from rw I enrolled in an online course/therapy program , sponsored by my Church and it opened my eyes to the real goings-on around me and gave me a new sense of reality. This online resource is run by an obscure academic by the name of Prof. Bluesslinger.
His name has been "anglicized" from its original ,either Austrian or Southern German roots of "Blauscheisser".
His myopic yet illuminating tenets appear, at first glance to be stemming from a single cell organism but upon further reflection, one can truly see the profound cretinism of it all .
Now then, imbued with this new and liberating outlook and completely froth-less I will explain to you why the gas prices are as high as they are.
If you invert the letters of "Obama" you get "Amabo". In Latin, the phrase "Amabo te" means "I shall be obliged to you". Who is Obama obliged to?... you may ask, well let me help you (close your eyes and imagine Dana Carvey as the "Church Lady"from SNL.........
SATAN!!
He was sent here to corrupt and destroy humankind with healthcare and high fuel prices! A truly Machiavellian plot.
Furthermore, everybody knows that Obama is allergic to dogs. If you read "dog" backwards what do you get?....I rest my case!

I have some questions. Who owns the majority of the gas stations in Soo Michigan? Are they Canadian owned? If they are Canadian owned that would explain why there is such a high price of $1.39/LT on our side in order to make us go to Michigan. In London this morning it's $1.23/LT for a non border city. I have no answers for these questions but it sure does not make sense to have such price differences in Ontario.

Well Obama sure made Muslims around the world shake in their boots.
At his U.N. speech he told the Muslims that if he can take some name calling and insults while being President they can handle some insults about their Allah.
Problem solved, "The One" has spoken and cleared that up.
The world can rest at peace now.
Obama thought he would teach by example and hurdle some insults of his own by skipping out and not meeting with one world leader face to face, an unprecedented move by a U.S. president.
Netanyahu has been trying for some time to have a meeting and it was also a perfect opportunity for Obama to meet with Morsi, Egypt's newly elected leader, but hey Obama's press secretary said he had a busy schedule.
Was it not Obama that just last week stated his "number one priority" is keeping US diplomats and embassies safe.
You might think that meeting with leaders from the middle east might help with this but...Obama knows best.
Obama bounced outta there because he had to appear on The View and consult with Whoopi, Hasselbeck and Behar about foreign affairs.
Don't these world leaders know there is an election going on, I mean really expecting to meet with Obama, The View is number one with women and those middle east guys wouldn't understand anyway.
Even the Associated Press raised an eyebrow on this one.

The Michigan Soo gas stations are owned by Amricans. The Admiral station whose gas is always the cheapest is owned by a cigarette company. But all those who whine on here about the price of gas in Soo Canada and the gouging, FYI, SOO Michigan is alway near the highest prices in the state. Why? Because they know all the Canadians will still buy it because its cheaper than our side. But once you strip away the taxes, there is far less of a discrepency.

Libya's president told NBC News that the anti-Islam film had "nothing to do with" a deadly attack on the U.S. Consulate that took the lives of Ambassador Chris Stevens, as well three other Americans.
Obama, fresh from consulting with Hollywood, slithered to the podium at the U.N., apologized to the terrorists and extremists and boldly declared to the assembly that the film was the cause of the attack.
Any other president would be bombing training camps by now.

No worries, here in Canada Justy boy has the leftist Canadian msm right on board, to help sell his charm.
The lefty msm just loves politicians with the charm factor, and couldn't give a rat's derriere if they actually achieve NOTHING.
If Justy boy wins the Lib leadership, he would have to win the prize for a party leader with the thinnest CV ever.
Unfortunately (IMHO) here in Canada, in the vote count - phoney charm and likeability is all that a good chunk of the voting public cares about.
In the big picture, the Conservatives have even less to worry about their chances of winning the right to govern after the next election. The following one though, may be another matter. Hopefully they can set the country well on course for a sustainable future, within the current, and next mandate.

My goodness. I had to review my posts to try to fathom what could have unleashed such venom. Nothing I found in my posts was anti union or even hinted at a dislike that I might harbour for teachers. That left the possiblity that flyhawk25 and Shakespeare might have a problem with a few of the points I presented.
The use of the word "volunteer" to describe the teachers who run the school after hours programs is disingenuous. What probably started as an expedient way to run extra curricular programs on the part of the schools is now just another duty to be performed and, in some cases, grudgingly so. Not good for the students, not good for the teachers and not good for the programs. The sooner the teachers can be relieved of these responsibilities the better for all concerned.
The teachers are not volunteers.
The bargaining process between the union and the boards is bizarre and has led to a situation in which the pay scales are seriously out of kilter with the rest of the workforce in the public sector. The government has taken an important first step. It will be years of wages tied to the COLA before there is sanity in remuneration in the school systems. The strike ban should be made permanent and extended to the entire provincial civil service.
As previously noted, I do not dislike teachers but I do dislike anonymous people sitting at keyboards who, after having run out of ideas, resort to name calling and insults. A couple of these hypocrites on here did just that last night. The fact that they were/are teachers, I am certain, is mere coincidence. I think it had something to do with oxen and goring. In any event they should be ashamed of themselves.

I'm surprised that mvnnth and flyhawk don't seem to know each other. They sat directly across from each other at one of the summits we had at the Legion.

Right Wing... Obama won't meet with world leaders because in an election year the Republican candidate Romney also gets to meet the world leaders.
Obama does not want to give Romney the opportunity to meet with these leaders and look Presidential.
The Pink Pony Trudeau is running for the Liberal Leadership.The last thing we need in Canada is another Trudeau.
We are still paying for the mess his father left,Multiculturalism,his dismembering of the Military,his bilingualism mos management The Debt etc.

Spelly...I am racking my aged memory trying to remember.
I tend to erase unpleasant memories but I really don't recall meeting someone at the legion who seemed abrasive.
You might want to e-mail me.

Good evening everyone. The neo-cons seemed to have piled it rather high today. The bad news is that with Harper at 50% disapproval rating , meaning folks not only dislike his policies, they dislike him. Goodbye Mr Harper. Hello Trudeau Two. I don't know where Everson went but none of the mentioned posters on here are her. Fly I bow to your wisdom on almost everything so kick the summit into gear. If you weren't such a lefty I would give you a hug and you aren't that cute. Have a great evening all.

I just remembered the news I heard today. Flaterty has been after large corporations to spend their reserves to boost the economy. John Manley, President and CEO of the Canadian Council of Chief Executives shot back that with Flaterty's own doom and gloom predictions on the economy why would they be silly enough to risk their reserves. I guess sooner or later the neo-cons will get the fact that these clowns are bad for Canada in spite of all their hype.

Grump...I believe the term is LOL.
As much as I hate cyber-lingo I did chuckle.
My sainted mother thought differently.

Grump and Fly,
I am glad "yous" get along and all that...however, this liberal goobley-talk and dissing of our "do no wrong" anointed Harper guy really pisses me off!
As you may be aware by now, I am froth-free and I cannot and will not tolerate reasoned debate!

As far as Justin T. jumping into the fray..well...I say why not?
He is a bit young and "douchey" and carries a lot of baggage ( Pierre E. being his "fajer" and all that sort of thing)...Canadians never really liked a leader with brains and the metric system and most of all, they truly do indeed enjoy the State peering into their bedrooms, or so it appears from a distance.
Let Justin give it a shot.... even though Canada needs someone with a beard or a devout Christian or something.....what's the Liberal party got to lose anyway?
They ruled this country for most of this century and did rather well...putting Canada on the map and enshrined regulations that prevented us from falling into a financial maelstrom like the rest of the globe....but hey...they screwed up with that Quebec sponsorship "scandal" that amounted( in the scheme of things) to 10 cents on the dollar.
And now we got Harper and his merry crew.....as they say...we deserve the government we voted for.

Grump,
First off...I don't talk to rats. (smiley face and quack)
Secondly...apologies not accepted as the frothless are bound to a certain credo!
Thirdly, I can't devote too much time to answer you as "Here comes Honey boo boo" marathon is on the "telly".
If you don't know what this show is all "aboot"...here is a short synopsis...
Trailer park, white-trash, Walmart shopping family, all overweight but with cute and precocious 9 year old cracking one liners ...kinda like bluesslinger on bathsalts.
Hilarious and sad at the same time. I feel dirty just watching it.
